SanDisk Corporation, the world's largest provider of flash memory storage solutions, has announced $1 million in needs-based scholarships for students underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

The SanDisk Foundation will partner with SVCF, International Scholarship and Tuition Services, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, and the United Negro College Fund to identify qualified students, process applications, award scholarships, and provide support services to recipients.

"The goal of the SanDisk Scholarship Fund is to help disadvantaged students to pursue studies in technology and engineering," said SanDisk president and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. "Our hope is to alleviate the underrepresentation of women, Latinos, and African-American students in STEM-related occupations."
